Full Governors Meeting
One of the many Governors meetings held at the school throughout the year,
The General Role of School Governors
To recognize and praise the Head's/school's achievement. Review, discuss and confirm the Head's essential tasks, standards and objectives and the extent to which they have been met. Confirm action and any changes agreed in any informal in-year discussions. Identify areas for personal development and training. Agree new objectives.
The Role of Parent Governor
Parent governors are elected by other parents at the school to serve for four years. They must be a parent of a child on the school roll at the time if their election. If their children leave the school before the end of their term of office, they may continue to the end of term of office. Parent governors are full governors and should take part in all aspects of the work of the governing body providing they do not have a personal interest ('Guide to the Law'). Although elected by parents, parent's governors are not mandated to express any views apart from their own. They may however wish to express other parents' views to the governing body where appropriate. Parent governors may receive complaints about the school. These should be referred directly to the Head Teacher without the parent governor becoming involved. The governing body as a whole has a responsibility for communicating with parents. An School Profile report must still be published to help keep all parents informed about issues. The governing body may request the Head Teacher to inform all parents of decisions.
